-32- z'ero, and when this is the case the numerical coefficient of (13) becomes the same as that of (18); so that all the terms of (18) are included in (13), except for sign., Therefore we can obtain hyju..r by selecting all the terms of f44..r in which each s has only cne subscript not zero, making all the signs positive. The k's are defipned by the equation TITI—"T;"%T“'T = 14 hyx 4 kogy + Rox® 4 kyyxy 4 kogy® 4 v0eee et 1 II[1 - vy(x)) By using formula (17) and noticing the negative signs of ay, by,e*ee, This is a reciprocal of the form where y= 2%, 2= %8, etc when r=1, k, =38, when r=2, ko + ko = -El'»[(S,' + )+ (254,)] 3 . when r =3, kg + ky3 + ooy = .51!.[(:," + 35155 4 355) + (651303 + 6533) + (65001)]; etc. The definition of the k's is equivalent to saying that kjg.r is the sug of all terms which contain as factors j of the a's, n of the b's, ete. Then if ky,,,, is expressed in terms of the s's, the indices of the term containing (s; )"'u--(sj ) pust Jangeery QMgesryg satisfy the conditions 2nyy =34, Sngmg=m, ***°, Sngry=r, the same conditions which belong to formula (13). Now if we develop the above reciprocal in terms of the s's by using (17) and supposing y=x% 2=1% etc., all the terms contain products of s's of the type just mentioned, so that every term belongs to one of the k's, The numerical coefficient given by (17) is the same as that of (13) except for sign. In the above reciprocal, every a, b, ¢, etc. has with it a minus sign, so that every ("J;:"r)" in (17) must be multiplied by (—1)“(j e il (—1)"‘"1) . When this is done every term becomes positive, Using the above cenditions, k.. is obtained fromw # ..r by making all the sig’né positive,
